Wikipedia talk:Admin vitriol formula

The equation lacks the critical variable of "c" which is how crazy is the editor against whom the admin action was taken. The c-factor multiplies the vitriol in a similar way as the speed of light does in Einstein's famous equation.:-)--Alabamaboy 10:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's probably covered by "G", which is in need of a subformula to describe it. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 11:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Ticking off a crazy user does not, by itself, affect controversy level that much. Circeus 21:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Um... you guys do know that the 'i' is irrelevant, it does not matter if the user is sane or insane. If the user is insane it is equal to 1. 1^4 = 1. If they are sane, then its i^4, which is also equal to 1. So all in all, thats a pointless variable :P ——  Eagle 101 Need help? 03:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I assume that it's a scale, not just two extremes, with values of x + (1 - x)i, where 0 >= x >= 1... okay, the imaginary number is a cute idea, but it doesn't work :) Grace notes T § 06:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't make sense of the 'i' bit, so I removed it. Thanks, Luc "Somethingorother" French 07:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Nice, but it needs a rouge factor.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  14:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
